Good evening, battlers of PokeCommunity, we are here with a brand new league that we are hoping will bring more activity to the PO server and add some unique fun to battling. This league in particular is the Primary Battlers League, and the battles take place on Pokecommunity's Pokemon Online server, if that wasn't already obvious.
When you join this league (and you will) you will be sorted into a house. You cannot change houses. The people in your house will be like your family, and you should treat them that way. You and your actions represent your house, and you have the unique ability to help your house gain or lose House Points. You can use your House Points to advance your team in renovating your house, or purchase some hard-earned goodies for yourself in your real Pokemon Game.
On behalf of the Primary Battlers League, we hope you enjoy your time and get the maximum fun out of the battles you partake in.Any resemblance to Harry Potter is pure coincidence.

Sign Up

To sign up, there are two things to do. Fill out the sign up sheet, and complete a small questionnaire of five questions. After those two things are completed, your application will be processed and you will officially be a part of the PB League. When you finish signing up, you will not recieve a trainer card, but your name will be listed in your House, along with your statistics.

Sign Up Form
Name: [Name on the PokeCommunity Forums]
PO Name: [Name on the Pokemon Online PC Server]
Partner Pokemon: [The Pokemon you will always use in your battles, events excluded. So basically, the one Pokemon that never leaves your team.]
Trainer Sprite: [If you do not choose one it will be provided, BW Sprites only, no Gym Leaders from B2W2]

Signing up to be a Gym LeaderTo be a Gym Leader, a monotype team is needed, and some dedication to the league. If you would like to be one. Just fill out the Gym Leader Sign Up form. If you wish to become a Gym Leader you will be sorted into the Gym Gathering House (as well as your current house if you already have one. Sometimes it may be difficult to battle someone due to Timezones and such. To remedy this, there will be a position of two leaders per badge, each with the same rules, same type, but not necessarily the same team. There is a separate sign up form for Gym Leaders, and it is below. Holy crap that is confusing, let us shorten it a little.
- Fill out the Gym Leader Form
- Your Partner Pokemon does not need to be in this team, a Gym Team can be a completely different one to the one you use to battle in your Houses.
- You may also fill out the House Sign Up form and PM Primary Spectrum the questionnaire so you may be a Gym Leader and in a House.
- The type you pick will be matched sprite and badge wise to the B2W2 counterpart.

Questionnaire

The questionnaire is a small 4 question survey to help us place people into their proper houses. The questions should be PM'd to Primary Spectrum, and your answers should not be posted here in this thread. In the questionnaire, you may only pick one of the three possible answers. If more than one applies to you, pick the most appropriate. When you finish and PM Primary Spectrum, your reply will be given as soon as possible and you will be sorted into your most fitting group. For the hypothetical, just imagine you're in the situation, don't worry if you don't go to school or the like.

So, just to recap:
- PM your questionnaire to Primary Spectrum
- Do not PM your sign up, that goes in this thread
- Do not post your questionnaire answers here (or anywhere else except Primary Spectrum's PM)
- Only pick one answer from the three possible ones

What is your favourite colour?
Yellow
Red
Blue

Someone you don't like calls you an insulting word, do you:
Laugh it off, their opinions don't matter
Get hotheaded and angrily retort
Completely ignore them

You see someone steals your friend's bag. You see the perpetrator and they begin to drive away in their car. Do you:
Copy down license plate number
Give chase in your own car
Call Police and console victim

You have to complete a group project for school with people you do not know, you:
Become the leader and direct the group to what they have to do
Take it as an opportunity to make friends
Let others do what they want, but help out when you have to

Pokemon Online

Pokemon Online, for those of you who draw a complete blank when they hear that title, is a free downloadable battle simulator which allows people to create and battle with teams using solely their internet and computer/laptop. It is incredibly convenient because no DS or Pokemon game is needed, and you can freely test out any kind of Pokemon, and the rules are already set in the system, so trying to cheat will simply result in a loss. To download Pokemon Online, go to this site, and then follow the prompts. Once downloaded, complete the setup and load PO. After that is done, click Team Builder on the menu and create a team of your choice (including your Partner Pokemon).
After that is finished, click Go Online, and then place home.brokenrevolution.com in the advanced connection box. After that just click Advanced Connection. Then you will enter the server and you will be ready to begin your battles.

Rules

The rules are simply but plenty, so you can have maximum fun in the league without much anarchy. These rules must be followed, and if anyone is caught breaking them punishment will follow. Please make sure you read these thoroughly before joining.

The Radiant Yellow's are known for being very happy and positive trainers. They enjoying battling even if they do not win, and are always glad to see their Pokemon on the battleground and never get angry at them for losing. They converse with Pokemon in a childish way, often by playing games or offering treats. They are humble in defeat, but also in victory, always thanking their opposition. Despite their sense of composure, Yellows can be provoked into anger, turning into ruthless opponents if the right buttons are pressed, similar to their Pokemon.

The Serene Blues are known for their quiet and calm nature. In battles, Blues are rather quiet, but they show their Pokemon affection by means other than words. Rumors say that some Blues can speak to their Pokemon telepathically, and that is why they don't speak much. When in the face of adveristy, Blues remain calm and think of a plan while remaining cool-headed. Blues are also known for being rather cunning and smart, often planning and analysing things in their silence. They can be seen as quietly considering all options before choosing, and are very dexterous.

The Nettle Reds are a very intimidating and loud household. They enjoy battling as a form of fitness and a way to connect with their Pokemon. They are proud when they win, and have a very conspicuous way of showing it. They enjoying training all kinds of Pokemon to learn how they battle, and they use that information against opponents. The Reds have a prone to having very short tempers, but their Pokemon and peers often oversee it. Due to their nature, their Pokemon often inherit some of their traits, which show both on and off the battleground.

The Gym Gathering Building is known as the prestigious meeting setting where hopefuls may try to earn themselves a badge or two by battling the Gym Leaders who reside there.
Distinguished by its Black Top, eight leaders lie in wait for challengers who must abide by predetermined rules in order to claim victory and earn themselves a badge.

These are updated weekly until enough people are helping, so please be patient

Here, is the Staff Sanctuary. This is where you can find details on who is responsible for what, as well as applying to help the League as well.

Owner

The owner of the prestigious Primary Battlers League was formerly Impo, but now he has teamed together with Requility in order to give the league easier maintenance and quicker updates.
Thus, a joint account named Primary Spectrum was created, and it is accessible to those dominant in assisting the League.

Maintenance

Next in the staff hierarchy are the maintenance workers. The maintenance workers are very important, as they record and verify battles that have taken place. The tasks maintenance workers must do includes updating the thread with any relevant information, and checking and resolving any grammatical, spelling, or archiving errors. It may not seem like much, but it is a role that news to be fulfilled continuously. Please give respect to these people, as it is easy to make errors, and you'd look rather pathetic trying to flame them.

Positions Filled: 1/2 [DragonOmega]
Positions Open: 1/2

Security

Security are the people who manage and control the thread - namely, they make sure the rules are followed. If any rules are breached, they have the power to hand out infractions and even ban players. It shall be made clear that any infraction or ban given in this thread does not have any affect to any thread but this one.

Positions Filled: 0/2
Positions Open: 2/2

Breeders

Breeders will be the main source of Pokemon for the Point Shop. Breeders are responsible for breeding special or valuable Pokemon for the Point Shop or special events, as well as trading them to the respective person who wants them (a Trader may be opened if that is too hard). Their Pokemon will vary, but their legitimacy will be truthful - any hacks will be refunded completely with harsh consequences for the guilty party.

Positions Filled: 0/3
Positions Open: 3/3

Designers

Designers will have the task of creating and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the League - such as (but not limited to) css and graphics. Plagiarism will not be tolerated, but credit will be given for all the pieces submitted. High quality and well practised people are sought, but we'll take what we're given if it's good enough.

Positions Filled: 0/2
Positions Open: 2/2

Eventers

Events have a rather simple job - which is to think of and execute event ideas. They will be responsible for mapping out everything and ensuring that it is completed with competence. That's it, really.

Positions Filled: 0/2
Positions Open: 2/2

Applying for a Position

If you are interested in helping the League, it's really quite simple and informal. Just drop Primary Spectrum a PM, stating what position you would like, and possibly any evidence to suggest you are able to help efficiently, and your application will be taken into consideration.

Something we would like to include as soon as possible is the Point Shop. If anyone has any good Pokemon they would like to donate, please contact Primary Spectrum. Credit and in-league rewards will be given.

Hey guys, Requility here. Just letting you know that for anyone that has applied to be a gym leader, I'll be testing you guys soon, just so we're aware of your skills and that you do actually know how to battle. It's nothing personal, we just want the league to be the best it can be, and rather than randoms signing up that may not necessarily know much about battling taking those spots, we'd rather it be people we have seen can battle. I'm pretty sure everyone will be accepted, but just letting you guys know the testing process will begin soon! n_n
